When we hear of competitive advantage, we tend to think about how two similar products stack up against each other in a price or quality comparison. That is still very true, people will still talk about the best quality or price when it comes to a product or service.... The question I would put to you is this: “What does it cost you to compete on either of these fronts?” To be of the best quality presents a multitude of problems with manufacture, materials, scalability, skilled labour, presentation, packaging, experential elements and on and on and on..... Price is more simple. All the competitors in an industry will compete on price constantly driving down the price to gain advantage and eventually driving each other and themselves out of business.

Okay, so neither of these competitive strategies sound appealing? If we really knew who our customers are, we would know what mattered to them, that would make them choose X over Y. You see, people aren't that simple that they go around like automotons choosing every purchase based purely on price or quality. They are much more complicated and have a lot of internal processes that come into play in order to decide which product, or service they are going to buy. I bet you know someone who displays brand loyalty to a certain product or service, while you know that deep down, they know it's overpriced crap.... Ever wondered why that person seems to keep making that decision?
